Dumbbell Lateral Raises

Target Region: Shoulders

INSTRUCTIONS

• Pick a couple of dumbbells and stand with a straight torso and the dumbbells by your side at arms length with the palms of the hand facing you. This will be your starting position.

​

• While maintaining the torso in a stationary position (no swinging), lift the dumbbells to your side with a slight bend on the elbow and the hands slightly tilted forward as if pouring water in a glass. Continue to go up until your arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale as you execute this movement and pause for a second at the top.

​

• Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position as you inhale.

​

• Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
